Description
At December 15, 2011 meeting of the Reference Information Model  subcommittee, the members discussed the following topics:

 1. TOPIC:  What is the status of our Reference Information Model and how do  we handle enumerated value lists? (Answer: Rex has developed an initial  framework for our Reference Information Model. The Enterprise Architect  representation and the Web Ontology Language representation are available  in the RIM Drafts folder. There is a pattern called ?value partitions? that  can be considered for a best practice for representing enumerated lists of  values. See http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-swbp-specified-values-20040803/ )

 2. TOPIC:  Should the Reference Information Model be used for guidance and  organization of concepts or should it also support directly the creation of  instance documents? (Answer: Jeff mentioned the use of reference ontologies  for the purpose of determining consistency and to support reasoning, but  not necessarily to create instance documents.  If instance documents are  created, how similar in their XML appearance should they be to the specific  specification output. The answers to these questions depend upon our  intended use for the RIM.  )
